Atlanteans were the scientists, and I guess that lemurians were the artists because they were more close to nature.

Correct. I am in mood for Atlantis...106. How did Atlantis end? (1 point)Score Board:kuisanagi - IKen-san - 5Amnesiac - 2

It sank to the bottom of the sea (probably).

[Kiririn-shi]

Correct. More difficult now. I may call off the question if people find it too difficult.107. If the sinking theory is right, Atlantis size being similar to that of Groenland, so where is a probable location of Atlantis?

Well, in my opinion it is between South America and Asia, That's a really big space and it would be south of Lemuria so it would fit the story of them being sort of close.

[Kiririn-shi]

Hmm, not in Pacific either, there is no trace of a continent that sinked. Try again.. It's a difficult question, only a few theories pointed the location to this place...

[Ken]

Ummm... I'll leave it to someone that has more knowledge on this, wonder where could it be.

[Kuisanagi]

Uh...hard indeed. In most ancient works, Atlantis is cited as being somewhere in the Mediteranean, and islands such as Corsica and Sicily have been proposed...however, nothing the size of a continent would fit in that area. Other suggestions include near Indonesia and off the coast of north-western Africa...

[Kiririn-shi]

As always, kuisagane saves the days. Actually the only probable place where Atlantis may be found is South Asia, near Indonesia. Since at the end of the Ice age, a huge volcano exploded between Java and Sumatra, it is probably the cause of the end of Atlantis if it existed. The vocano provoked the melt down of the ice, which led the the rise by 150m meters of sea level. It happens that the deepness of the sea in South Asia is about 150m. Therefore if Atlantis ever existed, it would be the best location to find it.BTW, the 'sink into the sea' is actually the rise of the sea level...108.

I belive he plugged his ears with beeswax and tied himself to the mast to prevent getting seduced by the song...

I was talking about the myhtological dragon creatures. Either western or easter dragons never existed. During the mesozoic period, a similar dinosaur existed but it didn't breath fire nor can fly. However, it had wings (like a bat).111. Who was Loki? (1 point)Score Board:kuisanagi - IKen-san - 7kuisanagi - 6Amnesiac - 2MeleeNewb - 2

[Kiririn-shi]

Sorry, that isn't the answer.

[cgfreak]

Wouldn't that be Troy?

[Kiririn-shi]

Not really this one actually. I was thinking of the rival of Athenes.

[.Kv]

umm is the city Troy? something involving Aphrodite and a war, Ares joined the war for 2 personal reasons ... and protected the city of Troy ... i thinkhmm damn cg got their 1st and it was wrong

Edited by KvDragon, 24 July 2006 - 12:35 PM.

[Kiririn-shi]

Actually Troy is correct also but Troy was protected by many gods. On the contrary, the one I am after is protected only by him, it's like his city, like Athenes for Athena. So what is it? Answer again if you wish, all of you.

[.Kv]

can it be the city of Megara, since Nisus he son of Ares was King of Megara and his city was captured ... maybe ares defended it?
